CPR/First Aid requirements
CPR (Level A, C, HCP or BLS) training is required for all Fitness Alberta certified group exercise professionals. CPR cards issued for more than 1 year must be issued within the last 24 months in order to be valid for certification and recertification; the expiry date for cards issued for over 1 year does not affect these requirements.
*Please note: CPR must be valid within the 24 month timeframe for more than 3 weeks after your certification date to be valid for certification. If you are submitting renewal documents late, CPR must be valid for more than 3 weeks after your documents are received and verified as complete.
Standard or Emergency First Aid training and CPR is required for all Fitness Alberta Certified Personal Fitness Trainers (Group leaders do not require First Aid).
